Menu
I have about 5-6 applications that I have open on my Mac which I constantly switch between all day long. I currently use Command-Tab to do most of my switching but Ideally I'd like to set my own shortcuts like Control-Command-[0-9] to toggle between my most used apps as it would be much faster for me. I looked at the keyboard shortcuts menu in the System Preferences but I couldn't find a way to make it simply focus on a particular window. Any input on how I could acheive this?
Thanks! Dan

To quickly force quit on Windows , use the keyboard shortcut Alt + F4. Make sure the app or program window is open when you click Alt + F4.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Notifications & Focus . Click Focus, then select a Focus. In the Turn On Automatically list, click the Add button , then choose whether to schedule the Focus based on time, location, or app.
Command-W: Close the front window. To close all windows of the app, press Option-Command-W.
You can use AppleScript and define some custom keyboard shortcuts to call the correct script.
For example:
tell application 'Finder' to activate
Set that to Control+Command+0
tell application 'Safari' to activate
Set that to Control+Command+1
... and so on
I know that System Preferences can define custom keyboard shortcuts, but I'm if they can run scripts. Something like Quicksilver or other 'productivity' addon software definitely can.

Alfred can do this as well.. among several other switching, searching tasks.
